does this help with soundproofing? Im trying to soundproof my dorm room from noisy hallmates and Im wondering if this will work.

If you can see a gap under your door (hardwood floors or very short carpet), I would expect this to help. I bought it just for sound reduction on hardwood floors, and am happy with it. It wouldn't help with people directly outside your door, but it could reduce reflected sounds that normally go under the gap between floor and door.

I really don't know because I live in the country. Try this...stuff a rug or towels under the crack in your door. If that helps with the noise, this will do even better because it has two thick foam rollers - one on each side of the crack - that sit right up against the door. The guard stays in place and just slides along with the door when you open or close it.

I suppose it depends on how sensitive your hearing is, and how well you can tolerate quiet background noise. I found it quiet enough for it's location, ie, attic vent.

I dont think it will help with noise - I still run an air purifier to distract them while I am gone - also if you put on painted surface it will take of the paint if pulled away.

We used it as a pantry door, so we don't really know if it dampens the noise, but the operating system is really smooth. Hope this helps

I doubt it, especially if you need it to cover any other noise. It's pretty quiet. It would probably only work for that if the room you are in is very quiet and you keep the fan very near your bed. If what you really need is ambient noise in a fairly small package, there are some small alarm clock radios with an ambient noise feature or just straight-up ambient noise generators with no clock or radio, like this one: HoMedics SS-2000G/F-AMZ Sound Spa Relaxation Machine with 6 Nature Sounds, Silver

I am not sure. It is loud enough to wake my husband & I in our room which is down the hall from our son's room. It didn't wake my college age daughter whose room is directly across the hall from him but she is hard to wake. Maybe try doing one at a time. Unless they don't wake easily and then it may work at the same time. Malem Ultimate also vibrates on the child so it is a combination vibration/noise.. Can YOU handle being woken up by both at night? That might be tough!

I'm not so sure about containing sound. It breaks up a room well, but I don't think it would be what you might consider an incredible sound barrier.

I'm making the assumption that Amazon knows what they are doing, since this is not the same product name as when I reviewed it, but if it is the same unit I would say that it will respond to any noise in the room, but I did not find it to work very well, partly because of that feature. I don't think you will find it a reliable solution.

this unit, I don't believe, is intended to be used as clock radio. It has a sleep timer, which means it will turn itself off. It sounds great & would be ideal for dorm room. It seems to me-a simple solution-would be to get an alarm clock to wake up with. They are inexpensive & considerably easier to use than a clock radio.

It does help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

Hi, in my experience, this is very basic sound proofing. So can't expect too much. But if you stick them all over the room including ceiling, and rug on floor, it dose help reduce the volume.

Hi, this item will not completely Cancel Noise . It would only dampen noise. Noise Reduction Co-efficient (Hz): 0.3

I do think these would probably be too loud if you are sharing a dorm room as they are an open back design, so they will leak sound while simultaneously allowing outside noise in. If you have separate rooms they would probably be fine. Otherwise the DJ model would probably be a better option as they are a closed back design which won't leak sound and will isolate from outside noise. You could also check out something like Mr. Speakers Mad Dog, which is also a closed back design and is also supposed to be a very good headphone.

They would probably work pretty well as far as blocking out those noises once you are already asleep or are falling asleep. They are good for muffling those kind of noises well but not so good at deep rumbling noises that kind of shake the walls. I guess that's a good thing though, so you could still hear someone banging on the door if necessary.

Since you can not be in the same room or rooms it is hard to say. I had it ine closed off room with another door to the adjoining room closed & could not hear it loudly. Please keep in mind it is a heavy duty industrial ozone generator. You can not stay in the same space with it anyway.

I don't believe it will keep noise from the hallway. It is good for drowning out noise while you sleep. It is not so loud to keep noise from other rooms. I like to keep it near my bed to keep noise from letting me sleep.

I believe it would. I use it to block noise from outside, and the sound of television or music downstairs. It works great for me. You can adjust the sound to be either a higher or deeper sound so I would think it would work to block out a low deep noise. I love it and bring it everywhere I go!
